Colombia things to see and do

The country’s most famous salsa spot, Cali is the place to go for all-night hip swishing. Dress to impress in the salsa clubs, which get going at 0200 and don’t stop until 0600. During the day explore the historical centre or visit the bizarrely modern shopping malls.
